Willie Strikes Out
LOOK, IF I'M GOING TO TELL you everything that happened between me and Dodger, you have to promise you won't tell. And you won't laugh. And you won't mention any of this to dumb old Lizzie from England. I have a weird feeling she wouldn't appreciate it.
Not that I care what she thinks.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to trust you on this, right? Plus, I'm busting to tell somebody about it. So here goes.
It all started one Sunday afternoon on the base-ball field. It was the second-to-last game of the fall Little League season. My team, the Bethlehem Bulldogs, was losing 3 — 2 in the bottom of the seventh inning. In the ten- and eleven-year-old league, we only play seven-inning games, so this was it: We were coming up to bat for the whole enchilada. It was all or nothing, score or lose, the victory pizza party with the team or the PB&J at home with Mommy. Plus, the team was in first place, but we needed to win one of our last two games in order to finish the season as champions. There were two outs with runners on second and third when I stepped up to the plate.
Can you believe it? Me, Willie Ryan! The guy who had never gotten a hit all season. The kid who prayed to get hit by the ball just so he could get on base. Of anybody on the team, I should have been the LAST person you'd want batting in that situation. I'm serious: If you could have taken a vote of all the kids on my team, they would have agreed a hundred percent. They would have sent any other player out there in my place — even Joey Carbone, who had a broken leg. They would rather have sent my seven-year-old sister out there. Heck, if my grandma Lillian had shown up with regulation cleats on her feet, they would probably have wanted to bench me and send her up to bat. But instead they got me — and my team would lose if I didn't get to first.
By the way, not that it matters to me, but dumb old Lizzie from England was watching from the stands. And get this: She was cheering for me super-loudly as I approached the batter's box. I swear, when I grow up I'm going to invent a special portable soundproof booth for this exact situation. It will slide on special rails built into the bleachers at athletic fields, and it will have a detector built into it that picks up embarrassing cheering noises. So let's just say, for example, that there's a boy who doesn't particularly like girls, okay? And there's some girl who keeps following him around and showing up at his baseball games, even though it's totally unusual for a girl to show up at a boy's game in the first place, and completely unheard of for the girl to scream encouragement at one single player the whole game. Plus, the girl doesn't know a thing about baseball, so she keeps screaming the wrong thing at the wrong time. And let's imagine, for a moment, that the boy's whole team starts laughing at him even more than usual because they start to think he's in love with the girl. So they tell the boy stuff like, "Hey, you and Lizzie should get married. She's the only person in the world who doesn't know how much you stink!"
Well, anyway, if a thing like that happened, the booth would slide right over to the girl's seat, come down around her, and keep all of her humiliating sounds from reaching the field.
Since I didn't have a cheer-proof booth handy that day, I just had to stand there taking my practice swings and try to tune out the constant clapping and strange accented hooting noises that were coming from Lizzie. Right before the game, my little sister, Amy, had asked me, "Is that weird Lizzie going to be there? She sounds like a cross between a trained dolphin and a dodo bird. It gives me a headache!" Looking up into the stands as Lizzie's cheers reached their maximum level, I saw Amy holding her hands up near her face. It looked like maybe she was trying to shield her ears. Poor Amy. Poor me!
I stepped into the box and gave the pitcher my best glare. Unfortunately, because I have gigantic glasses and my mom makes me wear a special helmet with a mouth guard, he probably couldn't see my face at all. But he was glaring at me, too, and I could certainly see his face better than I wanted to. The kid was huge. I mean seriously huge. And tough. And old-looking. I knew he had to be my age, but if I'd seen him driving a motorcycle to the game, I wouldn't have been very surprised. Plus, he'd already gotten a warning for hitting two of my teammates with fastballs. I gulped and got into my stance. Now, I've spent hours and hours practicing my stance in the mirror, and I think it looks cool. But Amy says it makes me look like a praying mantis with arthritis.
Doesn't that girl have a great vocabulary?
Anyway, as the pitcher wound up, I did my best to stay calm and focused. When he let the ball fly, though, all I could focus on was the fact that the ball was streaking toward my head at about eighty miles per hour. I just barely had time to hit the dirt as the ball whistled by, about an inch above the top of my helmet. The catcher couldn't get his hands on the ball, and it went all the way to the backstop. My whole team started shouting to the guy on third, "GO! GO!" This was a perfect opportunity. He could steal home and tie the game without me having to actually hit the ball!
The runner, James Beeks, who happens to be the best athlete and the coolest kid in my fifth-grade class, hesitated for about half a second, and in that time, the umpire tried to step aside so the catcher could get to the ball. Then a lot happened at once. As I scrambled across the plate on my hands and knees to get out of the base path, James started to go. So did the guy on second. The catcher stretched his glove as far as he could along the ground. But just as the glove closed around the ball, the umpire accidentally stepped on it. The catcher yelped in pain and yanked his hand away. This made the ump fall backwards. The ball squirted free of the glove and rolled between the ump's outstretched feet. James was about five steps from the plate when the catcher finally managed to grab the ball bare-handed. The catcher lunged. He slapped the ball against the side of James's leg just as James's foot touched the corner of the plate, and as every Little Leaguer knows, a tie goes to the runner. My whole team started jumping up and down, cheering and pounding each other on the back. It was a nice little moment for us.
Then the ump got up and called a meeting with the other umpire and both coaches. As the catcher took off his mitt and rubbed his crushed hand, and James walked slowly toward our dugout with his eyes on the huddled grown-ups, I stood there and thought, If I ever needed a break, this is it. Please, please let the run count. I just need some help here.
I guess there's a reason my nickname isn't Lucky, because the umpires ruled that the entire play after the ball hit the backstop didn't count. James started trudging back to third as our coach tried to calm the whole bench down. As I got back in the batter's box, James slapped me on the back and said, "All right, Wimpy, just bring me home."
That's another reason I can't be called Lucky: because everyone on the team already calls me Wimpy. The only guy who used to call me Willie was my best friend, Tim, and he moved to another state right at the start of the season. So now I was Wimpy one hundred percent of the time in the dugout, unless a coach was talking to me — and even the coaches sometimes almost slipped and used the nickname. Plus, even if the coaches weren't saying it, they were probably thinking it.
Back to the game: The count was one ball, no strikes. All I needed were three more terrifying pitches at my body and I'd get the walk. Then I could relax on first base and let the next guy worry about tying the game. The second pitch was nowhere near me, though. It was way outside, but the catcher managed to grab it before it could become another wild pitch.
Two balls, no strikes. The third pitch came screaming inside again, this time about an inch in front of my ribs. I stood my ground, mostly because my reflexes hadn't been fast enough for me to take another dive, and it was three balls, no strikes.
All I needed was one more ball. As I got ready for the fourth pitch, the catcher whispered menacingly to me, "Here it comes. ..." And what came was a slow pitch, right down the middle. I had been waiting for another scary, wild fastball, so I didn't even manage to get the bat off my shoulder. Now the count was 3 — 1.
I swore to myself I would swing at the next pitch if it was anywhere close, just to prove I wasn't totally useless. That was a mistake: Apparently, I am totally useless, because the pitch was a little bit high, and I fouled it off for strike two.
I gave myself a little mental pep talk: Come on, Willie. You knew it was all going to come down to you. One last pitch. One last chance. Now just get the good wood on it so we can all go get some pizza.
The pitcher growled at me — I mean, he actually growled. Jeepers. The catcher mumbled, "Bye-bye, little guy!" And then the ball was coming straight over the plate so fast it looked like the pitcher had a cannon hidden up his sleeve. You have to give me some credit: I swung. Just as the ball smacked into the catcher's mitt with bone-crushing force, I sort of waved the bat through the space where the ball had been.
It was all over. The pitcher smirked at me, the catcher clutched his hand in pain, the runners on second and third moved slowly toward the dugout. In the stands, Lizzie was still shouting, "Yay, Willie!" while everybody around her just stared.
I tried not to listen to anything as my team lined up to shake hands with our opponents. Most people just say "Good game, good game" about fifteen times as they walk past the other team, but believe me, there were some other comments being thrown my way that day. Life didn't get any better back in our dugout. I think the nicest thing anyone said to me was, "Geez, Wimpy, it was three and oh. You had him!"
Yeah, right. Like the pitcher had been practically on his knees at my feet, begging me not to destroy him with my mighty bat. Sure he had.
I got out of there as fast as I could, and got all the way to the stands before noticing that I still had my stupid ultra-safe batting helmet on my head. I whipped it off and spent a few moments trying to find my family in the crowd, but they weren't anywhere in sight. I suppose I wouldn't have wanted to be seen with me, either. Lizzie came up to me and said, "I'm sorry you didn't win, Willie. It looked as though you gave a great swipe at that last ball, though."
A great swipe, she said. Honestly. I just looked at her.
"Um, Willie," she continued, "your mum told me to tell you that you'll have to ride home with me. Your sister just lost a tooth, and it was bleeding quite a lot, so your parents took her to your house."
Great. Only my parents would think their kid had to be rushed home because of a lost tooth. The good news was that at least they had missed the end of my horrible final at-bat.
Here came the bad news, straight from the mouth of Lizzie: "Willie, would you like to walk home together? My dad's supposed to drive both of us, but I could tell him to just drive on without us. I wouldn't mind at all."
Yeah, she wouldn't mind. And my teammates wouldn't mind having another reason to laugh at me. I needed to be alone, though. "Uh, I'm sorry, Lizzie, but I really need some time to think. So I'm just going to walk home alone, okay?"
She looked like I'd just smacked her, but she said, "Sure. I understand. See you tomorrow at school?" In case living on the same block with Lizzie wasn't enough, I was also in her class for the third year straight — and our moms were co-chairs of the PTA Safety Committee, so Lizzie even wound up at our house sometimes. Lizzie used to follow my old best friend, Tim, around all the time, but since he'd moved, she was always trying to hang out with me.
"Yeah. See you at school," I mumbled. Lizzie went to tell her father that I wasn't coming, and I started the long Loser Walk home. It's pretty amazing, really. If anything had gone differently — if my sister's tooth had stayed in her head for another hour, if Lizzie's dad had insisted on driving me, if good old Tim hadn't moved away, or even if Lizzie had convinced me to let her walk me home — I would never have met Dodger. Because that walk home changed my life.CHAPTER 2
A Meeting in the Woods
MY HOUSE IS ABOUT EIGHT blocks away from the baseball fields. You have to go straight for four blocks, then make a right and go another four blocks. There is a pretty big square of forest in between, so the whole walk home is really a walk around the edge of the woods. Now, of course, going right up the middle would be a much faster way, but those woods are a state wildlife preserve. There are signs everywhere saying things like NO TRESPASSING and DO NOT LITTER and PICK UP YOUR TRASH. There's some typical grownup thinking for you: If you're not allowed to trespass in the woods, then how can you litter there? And if you are not allowed to go there or litter, why would you need to pick up your trash? Finally, if you're the type who would trespass and litter in the first place, are you really going to be the kind of person who worries about picking up after yourself?
But anyway, of course kids cut through there all the time. My bedroom window looks out over the preserve, and even in the middle of the night I sometimes see strange lights and hear laughter in there. I never cut through those woods, though. My mom is too worried that I'll get kidnapped. Or catch West Nile virus, or Lyme disease, or tetanus. Or, heaven forbid, get a splinter. So on this day, I almost didn't go through the woods at all. But I felt like staying off the street so nobody could see me and talk to me about the pathetic game. Plus, if my mom hadn't deserted me, I would have been sitting in the air-conditioned comfort of our minivan instead of baking in the hot sun all the way home, and the woods were always shady.
I stepped off the sidewalk, looked all around to make sure nobody was watching me, and slipped sideways into the forest. Sure enough, it was way cooler in there. I even gave a little shiver as I paused to let my eyes adjust to the darkness under the trees. I knew there was a path that ran straight from the corner of the field to the corner of my block, because high-school kids used it to get to school every morning. I figured it should be less than fifty feet from where I had entered the woods, but I couldn't see anything that looked like a path at all. Under my feet was a thick layer of leaves and broken sticks, and I had to turn sideways every few feet to wiggle my way between thick, prickly bushes. I just kept telling myself that the trail had to be in front of me, but truthfully, I wasn't so sure. A couple of times I ran into big trees and had to skirt around them, which meant I was getting more and more turned around.
Panic rose up in my throat, and I felt like screaming. But that was just silly. I was still right near the ball field, so if I started shrieking like a kindergartner, whoever found me would have even more evidence that my name should be Wimpy. I gulped down some air, told myself not to be such a wuss, and stomped ahead.
Then I tramped around in there for fifteen solid minutes without seeing any sign of the path. This was ridiculous: The whole stupid forest was only four blocks on a side, so how could I have walked that long without hitting an edge? I sat down on a rock to think, but as soon as I stopped making noise, I started hearing lots of scary sounds all around me. First I noticed a constant buzzing that was probably coming from hives of killer bees. Then I tuned in to a whistling noise that was coming from either the wind in the trees or a vicious bear with asthma. Finally, there was a crunching sound off in the distance, which could have been a lot of things, none of them good.
The noises got me so freaked out that I put my dorky padded batting helmet back on to shield me from the sounds (and the bees and the wheezing bears). I panicked anyway and started running through the underbrush as fast as I could. Sticks and branches were ripping at my arms and legs, cold sweat was pouring down my face, and I wasn't even trying to pretend I had a plan anymore. Fear had completely taken over, and I was running for dear life.
To this day, I don't know how long my sprint lasted, but I know I didn't stop until I couldn't breathe anymore. I doubled over, put my hands on my knees, and gasped for air until I felt calmer. Then I straightened up and looked around. Without noticing, I had made my way into a sunny little clearing, which wasn't scary at all, just surprisingly blue. There was a bluebird singing from the top of a blueberry bush, and a little stream with clear blue water ran right through the middle of the sunniest patch and past some bluebell flowers before disappearing back into the forest. Only one thing ruined the entire scene: A crumpled red, yellow, and white fast-food bag was lying halfway in the water.

Laughing Shino
Episode Reviews (24)
really great episode!!
Man this episode was heck a funny! Naruto and Shino arrived at their mission so after a while Naruto wasabout to eat the rice but Shino said, " no wait stop let me taste it first." Shino ate it all up and he smiled and started laughing. I thought that he was just kidding to he can eat the rice by himself. Naruto had to not laugh at the funeral so e tried his best. No matter what joke was it he never did until the belly dance. The hair also so the Funeral guy started doing something but it was Shino after all. The old lady came and that was the funeral guy. At the very end Naruto said something to get Shino mad and Naruto is all like gezzz.moreless
For a Filler VERY, funny!!
I finally get to hear and see Shino Laugh! One funny episode. Shino looked like a demon while he was laughing. Even his Bugs are laughing, so they can't stop Shino's laughing. Then comes the funeral. They try to make Naruto laugh with things that me burst into laughter. Those Monks hairs kept on coming off. Since Naruto is the main character, I knew he would not fail. A Flower out a guys nose but then it comes out from the other nose hole. Then the guy with the clown stomach. At least the mission was a success. Shino laughing was the Rising Action of the episode.moreless
Naruto & Shino get teamed up on an interesting mission.
Even though its a filler, I still dug the dubbed version of this episode. Being a fan of the classic Love Hina, it was great to hear Derek (Shino & Keitaro) & Dorothy (Naru) working together again. Awesome! Younger kids will find it funny for sure. & its the only time you will hear Shino laugh. I still cant wait until episode 220 airs. Ive always been a fan of Derek since he makes a cool Shino a just as cool Uryu from Bleach, & others. & as for Dorothy, she just has that perfect voice. Long live them 2, yes!moreless
Naruto and Shino go on a mission together. Funny episode, though.
Most people would disagree with me on giving this episode a 10, though this was pretty funny overall. Naruto and Shino head out together to help Futa for a funeral service for his father. The mission itself is odd, after reading the will, the mission was not to laugh during the funeral, or the entire estate is going split amongst everyone else. Futa says that he won't be hold in laughter, so he asks Shino to take his place. But things don't look good at dinner time, when Shino eats some rice that actually had some else added in, causing Shino to laugh uncontrollably. Now Naruto has to take Futa's place, but that seems almost impossible. During the funeral, Naruto tries to hold in his laughter from many things that the other family members do. Meanwhile, Shino investigates that someone is giving Futa's wife, Mai the laughing potion, and learns that Futa's father wasn't dead after all. He only disguised himself so that he could hear everyone laugh again. Shino and his insects then transform into Futa's father, and a Young Futa and Mai. They then do a silly song which everyone laughs, then Futa's father (the real one) appears, wishing that everyone could laugh again instead of fight for the estate. So the mission was a success, and Naruto and Shino head back home. A 10 out of 10.moreless
O_O Scarred for life and I don't even care...
OK, to dilute the weirdness of Shino laughing, I closed my eyes and pretended it was Uryu from Bleach. They have the same voice actor, and even though Uryu is a serious chaacter too, he has laughed on occasion. Shino laughing was just too weird for my brain to comprehend. Not that it wan't side splitting hysterical, it was just weird. Like aliens invading earth wierd. Or Haruhi Suzumiya weird. Good anime, watch it. Anyway, Tsunade sends Naruto and Shino out to some guy's funeral and they run into some old lady who is really the dead guy in disguise. Know what? I'm tired and don't feel like explaining it. Watch it on your own time!moreless
I think this is the best and funniest episode.
I think this is one of the best episodes I have seen so far especially Shino laughing was the best. A nation becomes wealthy and all they can think about is money and money and when they were poor they would laugh. The funeral was all a fake so that they could laugh. They did so many funny things that made me laugh like crazy and this episode definately deserves a 10 out of 10. This episode was just so funny and a lesson was learned about laughing which is great an awesome episode was so far. 10 out of 10.moreless
Incredibly horrible episode.
This episode was not good at all. It was full of lame jokes that maybe a five year old would laugh at. Come on ripped pants jokes? I don't think that's ever been that funny.
I thought the Onbaa episode was the lamest but this episode takes the lead in every single way. Terrible! Only another season and half until shippuden comes on, and it can't come soon enough.
Hopefully this will be the end of the incredibly bad fillers that try to be funny but fail horribly. I don't might watching a filler episode but there has to be a least a little bit action or marginally good comedy.moreless
A laughing Shino????
It seems that Naruto and Shino have been given a mysterious assignment to another village. The eldest son of a wealthy landowner is having his father's funeral and the will states that if he should laugh during the funeral, we will lose his inheritance to his younger sister. The loophole in the will allows the son to have a substitute for him for the funeral and he chooses Shino. As they sit down to a meal, Shino says that he will test the food for any poison and says that the bugs inside him will ingest it if there is any. All of a sudden he starts laughing after finishing his meal....moreless
i realy think this is going to be a very very special episode because shino never i mean never laugh he is just like sasuke because sasuke laugh's but only some times mby somthing happen in shino past like someone dystroyed shino clan just like itachi dys
a just bet this episode will be very very funny because shino never lahghs not even make a little tiny tiny tiny tiny face that is funny or even make a funny joke he just make's a normel sad face and boring also he never even talk's!! only very rare times but i am shock that in this episode shino is going to laugh it must be eaither a flashback episode or must be a very very very very funny thing that is going to happen when i see this episode i will be cracking up so much i realy wan't to see shino laugh.moreless
This was the most creepy and utterly disturbing episode of Naruto i have ever seen in my life...
It's some guy's funeral and in his will everything goes to this one person (i forget names of ppl) unless the rest of the family can make him laugh so he hires someone to represent him so shino is the rep. but at dinner he has rice to check for poison and it makes him laugh histerically (his bugs can't destroy it) so Naruto is the new representative and they try to make him laugh (it's funny watching him try not to laugh) and in the end it turns out the guy isn'tdead but he just wanted to make everyone laugh and be happy again.
Although there were a few halfway funny parts besides that this episode SUCKED!!!moreless

Altadena's latest bear sure gets around. Ray Leier shared these photos of a backyard encounter Friday morning at around 7 AM:
The neighbor to the rear of our property on via Maderas in Altadena alerted my wife, who was in our back yard watering her garden, that there was a small bear tromping around on our hillside. She ran into the house to get me so I could get a look and I grabbed my iPhone. I was able to get some shots of him just as he scampered over the fence and into our neighbors house to the north of us. I lost sight of him after he scaled the fence.
